Hello,

On the production server I have PostgreSql 7.4.3 , on Mandrake Linux 9.2.
In the message log on 29 july I have received several "shared buffer
hash table
corrupted" errors .
What could cause this error ? (bad RAM maybe?)

Best wishes,
Adrian Maier

Consider running memtest86 for 24 hours. If you have the option, try new
CPUs or motherboard.

Most likely, although a bad CPU or cache can cause the same problems
too. Most of the time it's RAM, as a bad CPU is generally much more
likely to make the machine just crash all the time, not just have
smaller issues like this.
